Uncle Cecil’s Crazy Tavern has and I believe always will be one of the biggest events of the year. Similar to Black and White, there’s a little bit of everything to enjoy. The questing was a good bit of fun, but not in the way I was expecting. Playing an impromptu game of eyeball stickball and watching a conga line of dead NPCs bustle on by battle for my favorite memory during the day. Also things got a little interesting up in the barn as I small group and I went to “dance” (spoiler: it wasn't dancing) But of course, as day turns to night so does questing turn to revelry. The tavern was a whirl of activity with gifts, chicken and alcohol flying about like a blizzard. The Bardic College put on a great show with some festive carols and an original song. I was very excited when Father Yule strolled in, sack filled with gifts for all the good little Realmsies. I wrote a letter to Father Yule at Black and White, so I was eager to see if I had made the good list this year. Low and behold, one of the first gifts pulled was for me! I excitedly scurried over to the throne, where there was an expertly wrapped gift awaiting me. I tore off the paper and there was a thing of pure beauty hidden underneath. Honestly this sword may have been more beautiful than most of the girls I’ve dated, and that’s saying something. It was poetry in motion, the stuff bards write about. Obviously I was overjoyed at the concept that this fine piece of art was to be mine, to the point where I needed to hug the nearest people in sight. It was a great moment. Watching other people get their presents was just as exciting though, and I’m still astounded at the level of craftsmanship within the Realms. Moral of the story: Always go to Uncle Cecil’s, it’s a guaranteed better time than eating fruit cake with your in-laws!- Swoop (Michael Zajac)
Dear Sir Lucas,
I was very floored to get something from Pater Yule, as I was expecting a Candy Cane for young Danielle instead. I just have to figure out where I can use my gift, a 15-20 minute massage from Sir Malaki of Folkestone, and Sir Bright Oakfellow will watch Danielle for me.
I'm attempting to figure out where, though. Feast of Leviathan? Feast of Chimeron? Right in the middle of a dungeon crawl? I'm open to suggestions. And grateful. So very, very grateful.
